"Screw Off!"

When you get an answer like this, "Director Lappin did respond to the request, saying that he would take the Congressmen's request under consideration and report back when a decision was made." It's "bureacratese" for "screw off" or words to that effect. This response was to a congressman's request to put those two Border Control officers who were imprisoned for doing their jobs in a minimum security prison while awaiting a pardon instead of the "23-Hour Lockdown" to which they're now being subjected. It's amazing what the government can get away with by "stonewalling" people in what's supposed to be a "free country." (FIRE Society)
